In 2009, French composer Maurice Jarre died.

An Irish student called Shane Fitzgerald decided to give him something to say.

Very generous.

So… He invented a quote and added it to Jarre’s Wikipedia page.

Newspapers picked it up for their obituaries.

Lovely words.

Right person.

Perfect timing.

Only one small problem.

Jarre had never said them.

The source was a student with an internet connection… unchecked.

Apparently, that was enough to become an internationally published authority on what a dead man had said.

You can imagine how this happens.

A deadline. A convincing paragraph. A familiar website.

Someone must have checked.

Beautiful sentence, that one.

“Someone must have checked.”

You really don’t want to hear it after asking where a number in your board paper came from.

Or the traffic forecast.

Or the revenue assumption supporting your investment.

Once something looks credible, asking for the original source can feel a little excessive.

Until you need it.

Which brings me to the news we consume.

I don’t need another headline to get my blood pressure up.

I have projects for that.

I want to know where the information came from. What supports it. And what remains uncertain.

Today, I’m pointing you towards an independent news outlet.

Their motto?

“News you can trust.”

Three words.

Quite a responsibility.
